The It Gets Better Project is a non-profit organization helping young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth see that happiness and a community of support can be a reality in their future.

Since 2012, Rudy’s Barbershop and the It Gets Better Project have teamed up to bring support to LGBT youth around the globe and inspire real change for the better. To raise funds and awareness for the organization, they asked for people to submit designs for a limited edition tee.

Judges included

Andrew Rannells, GIRLS, Book of Mormon

Janina Gavankar, True Blood, Far Cry 4

Miss J Alexander, Runway Coach, America's Next Top Model

Brendon Lynch, CEO, Rudy's Barbershop

Sara David, Writer, It Gets Better Project

"It was the uniting of the pinkies as we did as kids to make a promise showing support and love within our LGBTQ community, and in larger society. Appreciating and accepting of our differences, and looking casual (while fashionable) doing so... this is why I chose this design. Because It Gets Better!”
